InuisUiIlA Post

Col Gabe Wharton two or three years ago was
sent to Mexico bv a syndicate of New York eapi-
talsts. including Mr.. Seligman, the famous He
brew banker, who wanted to build a railroad to
that country Colonel Wharton was not pleased
with the outlook, and reported to the company
that the prospect did not justify the expense.
Mr.. Seigman, who was much interested, and
thought that great fortunes were to be made in
that part of Mexico, considerably disap-
pointed. He thought perhaps Wharton had not
informed himself sufficiently on the resources of
that country, and so expressed himself.
Colonel" he asked, why do you think our
railroad wouldn't paya"
'.Well, the fact is, Mr.. Seligman," said Whar-
ton, ''when l went down there to study the
industrial status of the country / was immedi-
ately struck by the fact that there were no Jews
there. Where there no Jews there is nc
business enterprise and no prosperity"
Mr.. Seligman was immensely pleased with
the keen response

austere-looking gentleman, over seventy years

expression about the lips that bears resem-

Col. Dick" Thompson, he is Familiarity

has never allowed himself to be interviewed.
So guarded is he in his speech when travelling
that he will not even express his views on public
questions to casual acquaintance whom he
may perchance meet on the train.
He was as firm this morning as in the past
when he was member of the Cabinet. As he

The ex-Saeretary had got as far as the plat

next moment hurried into the ear, casting one
hurried glance around to note whether or not
he was being pursued by the reporter.
A gentleman who is we'll acquainted with the
ex Secretary, who was also awaiting for the
train to start, sad "Well, didn't think you
would get even that much out of him. Colonel
Dick is a fine old gentleman, but he will not be
interviewed. Why, on the train last night
tried to get his views on the interstate com
merce bill, but he would not express opinion.
You see, he is between two fires now. He is
getting $25, 600 year by his connection with De

BOARDED BY CENTIPEDES.

A ship was recently boarded by cent?
pedes when on a voyage between Port
Prince and Philadelphia. The schooner
was manned by crew of negroes. She
had left Port Prince some days, when tine
captain and the crew were surprised to
see the deck invaded by hundreds of CEN
tipedes, insects whose bite is as dangerous
as that of scorpions. They succeeded
however, in killing them all with boiling
water. Some days later the steward ran
from the hold with cries of terror, saying
that it swarmed with centipedes and scor-
pions. Some of the crew, provided with
lanterns descended into the hold, and the
insects, frightened by the light, came on
the deck by thousands. The sailors,
again frightened, sought refuge on the
masts, and the captain could not make
them descend. For two days the cent?
pedes swarmed on the decks, and not one
of the sailors would take the risk of quit
ting his refuge. A Newfoundland dog
who was chained in front, having been
bitten, died in few seconds. The cap
tain and the mate who remained at their
posts, tried to destroy the insects by
placing here and there pans of burning
sulphur; but they only killed hundreds
and there were still thousands. At last a
tempest, which under other circum-
stances would have been thought great
nuisance, arose, and the sea swept the
deck, and soon the insects which had not
been carried off by the waves died of
cold. The schooner had a cargo COM
posed of wood for building and cedar,
of which much was worm eaten, and the
interior of which the centipedes had
probably made their Exchange.
